    News Turkey Problems: CNN Update on US Ambassador & Iraq Bombing

    In my hometown, which is in the Eastern Anatolia, there are at least seven villages next to my village within a range of say 2 kms. 3 of those villages have purely Kurdish population, majority of some other one is Kurdish and in the rest of the villages either the majority is Turkish or Turks...

    Condition Monitoring: Sensors Used for Electro-Elements in Space Probes

    Do encoders count as sensors? I mean those that are used for counting the number of rotation of a motor. There are also torque-meters, tachometers, pressure sensors, etc. In some situations they can even use a variable capacitor or a rheosta for those purposes.

    News Turkey Problems: CNN Update on US Ambassador & Iraq Bombing

    Excuse me, is it me or are you claiming that the Turkish government has been doing things like sabotaging the infrastructure that it has spent a fortune to built, been killing the doctors and teachers it has raised and sent to the region to heal and educate the people there, been poisoning the...

    Is There a Quicker Way to Find the Steady State Solution Than Solving y(t)?

    I haven't tried but you may want to assume y = a*cos(t)+b*sin(t)+c*sin(200t)+d*cos(200t) or something like that.

    News Turkey Problems: CNN Update on US Ambassador & Iraq Bombing

    And this is "proving" that the PKK is not a terrorist organization? Cool. So basically what you're saying is that it's ok to kill innocent civillians, trade heroin, set villages on fire, foray hospitals and schools to take doctors and teachers out to kill them before the eyes of all the...

    Why Is the Set S Not a Basis for R^3?

    Ahh, teachers :) Okay, search for what "rank" means if you already don't know, then relate the number of linearly independent vectors in S to the rank of S (smaller, larger, equal...). This would be the elegant way of explaining it :)

    Jobs in aerospace for EE majors

    If you're an EE and interested in aerospace engineering, "avionics" is the keyword you are looking for. And no, there's no such disadvantage since nowadays a flying machine is almost nothing without proper electronics on it.

    How Can I Improve My English Skills for Success in Engineering?

    Nope; it's the conversation part that kills us the non-native speakers :) In fact, some people (like my teacher at the prep school) claim that non-native people pay more attention to the grammar making their writing better than some of the native speakers. Back on topic: @Confused: When you...

    News Turkey Problems: CNN Update on US Ambassador & Iraq Bombing

    Not exactly. Erdogan government tried so hard to make Turkey a part of the war or at least provide the help the US needed. The opposition and the 94% of the public were against a war in Iraq. The huge antiwar demonstration held in Ankara with the participation of around one million citizens...

    How Do You Program and Design for the MC68000 Microprocessor?

    You're right. But it -depending on the numbers- takes more clock cycles than doing it with a LUT.

    News Turkey Problems: CNN Update on US Ambassador & Iraq Bombing

    I'll chip in. Don't you think that turning the thread into a hate propaganda is equally anti-democratic as what fanatic nationalist Turks do in Turkey? At one hand there are teenagers killing an author for nothing and blaming the people of the same ethnic identity for bearing the same...

    Help in working of capacitor & inductor

    Neither mine (that's obvious I believe :) ). I'm not criticising his level of English as typing "please" instead of "please" wouldn't require any particular skill.

    Capacitance and Voltage Confusion

    The voltage drop would be due only to electrical series resistance (ESR) of the capacitors. Other than that, in the situation you described, there is no reason for a voltage drop.

    A passenger car with an non-shaking room

    Electromagnets are highly non-linear in nature. You have to have a closed-loop control scheme incorporated with an actuator system having linear characteristic (like hydraulics maybe).

    How Do You Program and Design for the MC68000 Microprocessor?

    For the square part use a look-up table and an index to count up to x and read the table (which should contain the square of each x values). The rest is straightforward; addition.
